Broad-based+involvement+and+coordination


 * Broad-based involvement and coordination.**


 * In determining the quality of the proposed plan for broad-based involvement and coordination, the Secretary considers how well the applicant will extensively involve schoool library media specialist, teachers, and administrators, and parents in the proposed project activities and effectively coordinated the funds and activities provided under this program with other literacy, library, technology, and professional development funds and activities.**

This is very important wording of any choice of Use of Funds. How will we extensively involve and coordinate others involved in the education of the learners?

What collaboration ideas do you have?

I'd like to see flexible scheduling at all buildings; a library assistant 15 hours a week for support tasks and to open the library daily so the media specialist can arrive later and leave later in order to keep the library open after school; library open during Saturday School; librarian attending grade level/subject meetings (no longer labeled a 'special'); **librarian on leadership team; librarians conducting PDs for school staff on Web 2.0 tools, current technology integration trends, integrating units, extending student research**;
